Mauritius will be 6th partner country to participate in UPIS 2018. Former Prime Minister of Mauritius Anirudh Jagnath is likely to lead a high-level delegation from Mauritius to participate in the investors’ meet.

Other countries to participate in UPIS are Japan, Netherlands, Finland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

UP chief minister, Yogi Adityanath will meet the partner countries’ delegations separately on Feb 21 and 22 as per the schedule.

During the Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav governments, investment proposals worth Rs 500 billion were received by the state. However, most proposals proved to be mere photo-ops and never materialized due to the sloppy follow-ups, lousy policy, and perception of bad law and order.

Therefore, UPIS 2018 has become a matter of prestige for Yogi Aditynath, and hence, he has fueled all cylinders to impress participating investors and meet set investment target.
